Default Mamas & Papas 16 Greatest Hits -- Just soooo awesome -- Recommended

The MCA CD of the Mamas & Papas as shown w/front cover and UPC & digitally remastered by Steve Hoffman back in 1985 is a must have IMO.

The first song, "Dedicated To The One I love" comes on soooooo softy and then BAM. It just fills the room with vocals & instruments/drums. The CD is loaded with their hits from the 60's.

Not crazy money neither -- picked it up for $5.99 w/free shipping.

It's very well done and you'll feel good once its playing.

Best sirs,

Bob

Bob,

I had to check my copy and sure enough I have the same one as you. It's quite good like you said.

Also, based on your recommendation I picked up the Derek and the Dominoes SACD you mentioned in a different thread and that's an awesome one too!

So fellow AAer's when Bob says it's good grab it!

Mitch
